Picacho Bust

[sweetgrass]

Yesterdays trip to Picacho Peak was mostly a bust. It rained on and off, the lighting was off and the poppies were closed. But I wasn't going to let my $7 completely go to waste.

Found this nice scene heading up Hunters Loop.

It's still a very pretty scene compared to what that place looks like most of the time.

Well, maybe it wasn't packed with people? Still some nice color.

Thank you Alan, I have not spent a lot of time there. When my wife and I lived in Phx, we made a lot of trips back and forth to Tucson and it was nothing more than a landmark. This was my second trip since moving back to AZ, and Monika there weren't too many people in the park on both of my visits.
But it is right off of the I-10, so I can imagine the park can get a lot of traffic.

I grew up in Phoenix and remember seeing it whenever we drove south to Nogales where my father would stock up on booze. There was a one gallon per head limit on what you could bring back in the 1950's so my sister and I always got to come along. The freeway didn't exist yet and the peak area wasn't much more than a few picnic tables and a restroom.

Nice save Sonny

Maybe not open poppies, but still a really cool scene I think Sonny. I like that Peak in the background.
